Klipsch RF-7 II VS Paradigm Studio 60 V.5

Can't decide between these speakers. I did a search of Paradigm dealers in my area and it seams like they are all A/V installer who doesn't stock models plus you have to make an appointment. The same thing with Klipsch, It's only shows Best Buy as the dealer and they don't even sell the reference series. I have all kinds of amp solid states and tubes so matching either speaker is not a problem. It will be used for 80% music and 20% watching movies. I don't like very detailed speakers and speakers that needs everything to be perfect to sound good, I'm done with that audio fool thing. I prefer neutral, transparent with tight bass. I used to have Studio 60 V.2 long time ago and I kind of like it. Can't find much review of the Klipsch RF-7 II and it seems like only Klipsch fanatic talk about it. I need to hear from you guys any opinions you want to share.

The Klipsch RF-7II's are so new that the jury is still out. One thing I am hearing consistantly is that Klipsch has addressed(mid/high fatigue) the issues/complaints that the DeanG crossover upgrade has been correcting for the original RF-7's. Many new owners(some first time Klipsch) are blown away by the smoothness of them but also the fact that they are retaining the "in your face" quality that many enjoy from the original RF-7's. They have been described as having the smoothness of the RF-83's with the "knock you back in your seat" impact of the RF-7's.

I would love to have a pair but am completely happy with my RF-63's.
